Mundane News

Good evening from Lamma Island, Hong Kong. Nearly all of our covid restrictions have been removed now so it’s great to see Honkers getting back to party mode.

Good morning all. I hope nobody's suffering from the result of any excesses from yesterday and all is good news with @DCLane 's son No.1

In complete contrast to yesterday, it's a bright and sunny Boxing day here in Suffolk which means the seafront will be busy with people walking off Christmas dinner. Plans for today are to get at least a couple of bikes cleaned up and lubricated after the recent grotty weather and then to head out for a couple of hours to get one of them dirty again.

Beautiful Wife has announced that there will be raclette tonight.

In other news my phone alarm has just gone off telling me to go and cover the till for lunch. As the shop is currently 200km away this may be difficult.

You pedal fast enough, you might just manage it.

There's a small obstacle called the Black Forest in the way.

Does that alter the distance you'd have to ride? Or is it the bears...

It is sunny here but really cold in the shade . I have been out replacing a head bearing on my Carrera Zelos . It feels nicer that the feeling of a gravel ball race .

Riding through that should be a piece of cake!

Only-8C here this morning.
Weather/Marine radio is off the air due to broken equipment.

It's the uphill bits mainly. Very pretty but hard work.

@DCLane hope your boy is on the mend very soon and that you will both be back home enjoying things bike related and mundane.

. Just think ! They have tiny gears whirring away just like your bikes !

Like a watch equivalent of a single speed?

From what I remember of Raclette, you will have the calories to go for miles. Very nice

Lovely sunny morning here, if cold! Hill walk with the Mr. Pause for ventolin at the top. Blasted covid.

Back home with son no. 1 after 16 hours in A&E plus surgical assessment ward, two hospitals with a transfer, CT, facial and a heart scan.

Nothing serious, no broken bones but a son with a battered face. They decided against surgery in the end. He'll be with us a day longer as a result.

Thanks @classic33 @Illaveago @Jenkins @Hebe and others for your comments.

Need sleeeeep.
